Hello

I want to broadcast Bitcoin transactions using python's socket library.Now I can sign a transaction. But when sock is used to link other nodes, it is not known what information should be transmitted.The node I am linking to is protocol version 70016.I tried to find information on bitcoin.org.

This is the site I was looking for:
https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/p2p_networking.html#protocol-versions

But it doesn't show how protocol 70016 works.I want to know which website I should visit for the 70016 version of the Bitcoin protocol.

Kindly check the Bitcoin core source code https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin to know the details about Bitcoin protocol version 70016 and explore Bitcoin Improvement Proposals so that you can understand how it works and understand broadcast transactions using Python's socket library.
